He transformed Mahomes’ Chiefs – now Walker faces team that let him go

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III prepares to face the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday for the first time since leaving in free agency. After leading Seattle to a Super Bowl victory, Walker joined Kansas City on a three-year, $45 million deal and currently leads the NFL with 665 rushing yards. Elsewhere, quarterback J.J. McCarthy is set to make his first start for the New York Giants against the Houston Texans.

The upcoming slate also features the Pittsburgh Steelers meeting the New Orleans Saints in Paris, France, marking the NFL's first regular-season contest held in the country. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams enter their matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders under pressure following a 2-4 start to the season, while Lions tight end Sam LaPorta publicly voiced frustration over contract extension talks.
